Low-T Brillouin spectra of the incipient ferroelectric KTaO3 exhibit a broad central peak (CP), and additional Brillouin doublets (BD), that can both be related to phonon-density fluctuations. On the basis of new high-resolution neutron data obtained of lo ...
The correlations and fluctuations in Cu(DCOO)(2). 4D(2)O, which is a good physical realization of the 2D S = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice, have been measured by neutron scattering measurements. The quantum fluctuations cause a non-uni ...
The action of water waves moving over a porous seabed drives a seepage flux into and out of the marine sediments. The volume of fluid exchange per wave cycle may affect the rate of contaminant transport in the sediments. In this paper, the dynamic response ...
A numerical modelling approach, used for the analysis of stable brine displacement results, is described. The purpose of the analysis is to evaluate recent theoretical advances in modelling of density-dependent flow and transport. The data analysis involve ...
Dispersive samples introduce a wavelength dependent phase distortion to the probe beam. This leads to a noticeable loss of depth resolution in high resolution OCT using broadband light sources. The standard technique to avoid this consequence is to balance ...
This paper reports on a novel, simple yet reliable, unbalanced SOI Mach-Zehnder (M-Z) interferometer architecture based on 1.2 μm CMOS process and adapted post-processing for the waveguide sidewalls. The fabricated electro-optical device is based on multip ...
We report on a 2×2 SOI switch, based on the plasma dispersion effect, reaching 5 MHz of switching frequency. Measured insertion losses, extinction ratio and crosstalk at 1300 nm and 1550 nm are presented and discussed. ...
The acoustic phonon dispersion curves of the hexagonal perovskite CsNiCl3 were measured at room temperature in the vicinity of the Gamma-point along the [0 0 1] and [1 1 0] directions. The derived velocity of sound values for the longitudinal and transvers ...
Dispersion relations of the s-p derived surface state on (111) surfaces of silver and copper have been measured using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. For silver as well as for copper we find a significant deviation from a pa ...
A phenomenological model was proposed which describes frequency dispersion of nonlinear dielectric response of relaxer ferroelectrics (relaxors) as a result of dispersion of their linens dielectric permittivity. The model was applied to Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3 ( ...
